Wednesday night marked the beginning of the Concordia Stingers’ women’s soccer program’s Reseau de sport étudiant du Québec season. With a solid effort on behalf of either side, both teams emerged empty handed, the game ending in a 0-0 draw.

Midway through the offseason, Concordia’s athletic department announced that, after 16 years, Jorge Sanchez will not be returning as Stingers women’s soccer head coach for the upcoming season. While this decision may have come as a shock to some with training camp just weeks away, behind the scenes, this has been months in the making.

After dropping the semi-final in a heartbreaking shootout loss to the University of Manitoba Bisons, Concordia’s women’s hockey team looked to claim the bronze medal at U Sports Nationals as they faced off against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

When it was announced that former Stingers head football coach Mickey Donovan would be leaving the program to join the Alouettes as Special Teams Coordinator, the choice for his replacement as interim head coach was not clear.

As part of his Master’s project, graduate student in Concordia’s Media Studies program, Aaron Lakoff, curated a panel held in Concordia’s Feminist Media Studio. “Powerplay” not only covered women’s hockey, but also what it’s like to be a woman in sports media.
